What I try to do


I’m building a application for my Channel. I get the data over the JSON from google and fill that into my ListView over the SimpleAdapter.

That I can show the pictures in my SimpleAdapter, i save them onto my SDCard. The Problem is now, when the app gets killed I get a forceclose error because the pictures are allready there.

Question


How can I delte the “Cached” images on my SDCard on onDestroy()?

Down here you find the Code of the app. Thank you for your help in advance!

    Accessing files on external storage

    If the user uninstalls your application, this directory and all its contents will be deleted.

    on API level 8 or greater use the external cache directory: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#ExternalCache

    There is also an explanation for using API level 7 and lower in the above link
